- 1986
-
- This was the year I sold my
- first picture: R.M.S. Titanic for
- Electric Dreams. Shortly afterwards I
- started doing loading screens for
- Firebird. I was still working in a
- computer shop on not a very high
- salary, and with the extra money from
- my art I eventually bought an Amiga
- 1000.

- Andrew Braybrook's Gribbly's Day Out
- was a classic. Very weird and
- surreal, but highly playable.
-
- I was fortunate enough to be asked to
- draw the loading screen for the
- budget re-release, and I'm proud to
- have been associated with one of
- Andrew's games.
-
- The picture itself is a pretty good
- version of the box artwork.

- This picture was for an adventure
- game, and was a copy of the box
- artwork. I particularly like the
- firebird logo zooming out of the
- monitor.
-
- At the time I didn't seem to realise
- that the character on the left was
- wearing a miner's helmet. I might
- have drawn him better if I had!

- Another tribute picture - this time
- to the fabulous Gremlin Graphics Game
- Thing On A Spring. Like Monty On The
- Run this is really a tribute to the
- fantastic music in the game, by Rob
- Hubbard.

-
- In 1989 I gave up doing computer game
- graphics, and got what my parent's
- called a 'proper job' with a
- semi-conductor company, working on
- silicon chip layouts.
- Two years later the company
- relocated, and I lost my job.
-
- I decided to go back into computer
- games, and joined Argonaut Software
- as an artist. I worked on quite a few
- SNES games including King Arthur's
- World, and Vortex.

-
- Eventually I migrated to become the
- leader of Argonaut's QA department,
- later leaving them to join Philips
- Media as an Assistant Producer, where
- I remained for a couple years, before
- they closed down.
-
- I then worked for Cranberry Source
- with industry veterans Jon Ritman
- (creator of the classics Matchday and
- Head Over Heels) and John Cooke for a
- few months before joining Particle
- Systems about three years ago as a
- game designer, where I am today.
-
- Here is one more graphic to conclude
- the show -- Warhawk.
